* BadassBeard: Has a small beard and is one of the most {{Badass}} members of the crew.* BadassBookworm: With more emphasis on the {{Badass}}, but he's still very smart.* BaldOfAwesome: After his haircut.* BeardOfSorrow: Isn't the most well-adjusted.* TheBigGuy: The most physically imposing of the team.* CassandraTruth: If everyone had just listened to him at the beginning about not taking the detour, none of the bad events in the film would have happened.* CruelAndUnusualDeath: [[spoiler: Repeatedly immersing yourself in freezing liquid is a horrible way to go. At least it was a HeroicSacrifice.]]* DeadpanSnarker: He kind of has to be as the blunt OnlySaneMan.* DecoyProtagonist: While he has all the characteristics of the traditional protagonist it becomes clear that the real main character is Capa [[spoiler: and he ends up dying just before the climax.]]* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: Dies after repeatedly immersing himself in freezing liquid to fix the ship]].* HotBlooded: He's quick to anger.* ImportantHaircut: Cuts his hair at the beginning of the film.* JerkassHasAPoint: Yes, he's curt and rude, but he's not wrong. The fate of humanity rests on their shoulders.* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's a bit of a jerkass for putting the mission first, but he does care about his team.* KnightTemplar: Unusually, a completely justified example. * OnlySaneMan: While he's blunt his solutions to problems are usually the most logical; problem is, most of the time the crew goes against him.[[/folder]]

[[folder:Cassie]]!!Cassie[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Cassie_1933.jpg]][[caption-width-right:350:''"Only dream I ever have…is it the surface of the sun? Every time I shut my eyes…it's always the same."'']]->'''Played By:''' Creator/RoseByrne

After doing this he commits suicide.]]* FaceDeathWithDignity: [[spoiler: Faces his imminent demise with no fear.]]* NotSoDifferent: From Pinbacker. Both are enamored with intense sunlight.* OpaqueLenses: What he wears.* SanitySlippage: At the start of the film, he's enamored with the sun and spends time basking in sunlight. As the movie progresses, his fixation on the sun leads him to spend more time bathing in sunlight, so much so that his face is badly sunburned.* TheShrink: He serves as a mental health professional for the Icarus 2 crew.* SpaceMadness: Albeit a mild version.[[/folder]]

* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler: It's hard to feel sorry for such a cowardly prick.]]* ButtMonkey: Doesn't get much respect from his men, though this is justified.* DirtyCoward: Despite being the captain, he only cares about self-preservation and refuses to stay behind on ''Icarus I'' to get the others back safely.* ItsAllAboutMe: Harvey only cares about himself, and he tries to act like he's the victim when his crew get justifiably disgusted by his behavior.* LiterallyShatteredLives: [[spoiler: Gets frozen in space after missing the airlock, and his corpse is disintegrated.]] * ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: [[spoiler: Harvey misses the hole then freezes out there in seconds, his frozen corpse hitting an antenna, thus breaking his arm before flying outside the shield, reduced to dust in seconds by the Sun]].* YouAreInCommandNow: Previously the second in command, he becomes captain after [[spoiler: Kaneda dies.]][[/folder]]

While his death appears to be a suicide, WordOfGod states that Pinbacker did it.]]* ItsAllMyFault: When he resets Icarus 2's new course, he forgets to conduct calculations for the shields, which leaves the ship vulnerable to the sun's intense heat and jeopardizes the mission.

[[folder:Pinbacker]]!!Pinbacker[[quoteright:350:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Pinbacker_8740.jpg]][[caption-width-right:350:''"For seven years I spoke with God. He told me to take us all to Heaven."'']]->'''Played By:''' Creator/MarkStrong

* AmoralAfrikaner: Hard to place because we don't really get a look at him, but WordOfGod says he's South African. It's easier to hear the accent in his [[ApocalypticLog recordings.]] Also an interesting example in that we have no idea what kind of person he was before he [[SanitySlippage lost his marbles]].* AxCrazy: The Pinbacker that the Icarus 2 crew encounters is delusional and murderous.* BaldOfEvil: Likely burned off, as the man has been exposed to too much sunlight due to his madness.* BigBad: Sabotaged his mission, sabotaging the second Icarus as well.* BodyHorror: Because of his prolonged exposure to sunlight, he's covered in third degree burns. Also, during his fight with Capa and Cassie at the end of the film, Cassie grabs his arm, and his skin and flesh slough off in her hand.* EgocentricallyReligious-->'''Capa:''' My God. Pinbacker.-->'''Pinbacker:''' Not your God. Mine!* EvilSoundsDeep: Baritone.* TheFatalist: After his sanity slippage, he concludes that efforts to save humanity are futile.-->'''Pinbacker:''' All our science, all our hopes, our dreams, are foolish! In the face of this, we are dust, nothing more. Unto this dust, we return. When he chooses for us to die, it is not our place to challenge God. * FullFrontalAssault: He doesn't wear clothing, showing off his burns and wounds. * TheFundamentalist: Having lost his mind, Pinbacker believes that he can talk to God and that he's carrying out God's will by sabotaging efforts to restart the sun.* GenreShift: He represents the movie's shift from hard-ish Sci-Fi with NoAntagonist to a borderline slasher flick. * ImplacableMan: He's convinced that God wants humanity to die so that they can ascend to heaven. He meets any attempt to thwart this with violence, and he cannot be reasoned with or cowed.* MadeOfIron: There's no reason he's pretty much completely indestructible. He just is. Despite already being covered in third-degree burns. * NotQuiteDead: Pinbacker was believed to have died along with the crew of the Icarus 1. However, he's very much alive and determined to thwart the Icarus 2 mission.* ReligiousBruiser: He's a formidable opponent who believes that he's carrying out the will of God.* SanitySlippage: Pinbacker lost his sanity while leading the crew of the Icarus 1.* SatanicArchetype: He acts as an adversary to humanity on God's behalf (or so he believes in his madness), bringing to mind Satan's traditional role in the Hebrew Bible as the Adversary. When Capa meets him face-to-face, he's bathed in light, evoking Lucifer as an angel of light. * SpaceMadness: During Icarus 1's journey, he went insane, presumably from the stresses of the mission.* SpannerInTheWorks: After he goes insane, he sabotages the Icarus 1 mission and creates enormous problems for the Icarus 2 mission.* StrawNihilist: In his lunacy, he concludes that humanity's efforts to restart the sun are in vain, and that humans are inconsequential "dust" before God.[[/folder]]----<>
